    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 1.00 Firmware Release

    Been on vacation, reading all about quantum, and itching to try it. I finally loaded it this afternoon, after recording some quick tracks with FW 19 to compare against. Holy crap balls, this update deserves the name! I hear a clear difference in the recordings, but to a greater extent I _feel_...

    Rookie Boost Question

    Whoops, my bad. That's how I set some levels between presets, not scenes. Had a few Java stouts last night, and, well... yeah [emoji6] thanks for correcting it before OP got frustrated

    Rookie Boost Question

    The output of either the Output block or the Amp block should do the trick. Just switch to the scene you want the boost, set one of those, and save the preset.

    Need a decent inexpensive feedback wedge

    Thanks again for the suggestions. Marks feedback patch sounds pretty good, but that's more about trying to simulate the feedback fade-out from played notes, vs feedback buildup from just letting go of the strings. Dunno why I didnt think of it sooner, but I tried one of my band's JBL EON615...

    AXE FX 2 XL+ JUST FOR EFFECTS

    Yep. Mind you, I don't have a kemper, nor have I tried this, so read up on the 4 cable method, and read your documentation for both units thoroughly to make sure it will work and how to set it up. Matching signal levels will be important... I don't know what levels the Kemper expects or sends on...

    Confessions of a sound man

    How would you say the JBL EONs compared to your CLR?

    AXE FX 2 XL+ JUST FOR EFFECTS

    Looking at the I/O on the kemper powerhead, if I were running that way I'd use 4CM just like an amp head. That'd give the flexibility to put compressors, drives, etc, in front, and reverbs delays in the kemper send/return loop. As far as MIDI, not knowing what axe fx you have, and not having a...

    Need a decent inexpensive feedback wedge

    Thanks! All great input, and better options than I'd hoped for. That alto looks really good despite the lack of EQ. Tons of good reviews, and Amazon has it for $199 shipped. I could run the second output and throw a GEQ in my presets if I had to. Paranoid, thanks for the heads up. I'll grab...

    Need a decent inexpensive feedback wedge

    Hey all, My band is running full IEM, no stage volume (except the bass player that refuses to give up his 80 lb beast... sigh [emoji6] ). I was running a cheap Kustom wedge the band had laying around to get feedback, but it's gone flaky. Can't say I mind... it tended to squeal instead of giving...

    Hell Night at the Arena (Cologne Germany)

    I almost bought an MFC (plus a couple EV-1s) with my recent Ultra to XL+ upgrade. Stories like this were the biggest reason I didn't. I love my 2 new babies, but I do feel limited without the MFC (using an UNO chipped FCB1010). After reading thread after thread, my instinct says this sounds...

    IEM Ear Buds - Suggestions

    I use and really like the Shure SE215. Great performance for the money. I was having problems with some instrument balance as well. Turned out to be the compressor and limiter settings. I disabled all except one compressor on the mixer output going to the IEM transmitter, and that's set at a...

    Fuzzbomb 2x12 UR

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I wanted to say thanks to the cab owner and Cliff/Fractal :-) My real cab is a 2x12 buzzbomb with Green Machines, and I'm completely stoked to find its already done, and as an UR, no less.

    Preset Name Meanings

    Introspection - (disregard... that's what I get for not checking on my Axe first. I swear I remember a Greg Howe tone somewhere in the defaults, though) Forty Miles - Forty Mile Town - Eric Johnson

    Fx Loop level vs. Axe level

    I've run my G-Force with both my Ultra and XL+. IIRC, it worked well with both by setting the G-Force input at 12 o'clock and the output around 3, then bumping the Axe FX loop output by 6 DB. I've since weaned off the G-Force, but it took some work (more than I thought it would) to duplicate...
